You can use an account associated with the admin role to log in to the ServiceComb engine console and create an account or manage a specified account created in the engine based on service requirements.

Table 1 Account management operations

Operation

Description

Adding an Account

Creates an account and associates a proper role with the account. Users who use the account have the access and operation permissions on the ServiceComb engine.

You can create up to 1000 accounts, including new accounts and imported IAM account.

Importing an IAM Account

Imports an IAM account and associates roles with it. Users using this IAM account have the access and operation permissions on the microservice engine.

If the imported IAM account needs to connect microservice applications to the engine through programming interface authentication, reset its password and then use the new password to configure security authentication parameters.

When you use this IAM account to log in to the CSE console with security authentication enabled, you do not need to enter the account and password. However, a password is still required after the VDC read-only user is imported.

CSE can manage up to 1000 accounts, including new accounts and imported IAM account.

NOTE:

The IAM account can be imported only to ServiceComb engine 2.9.2 or later with security authentication enabled.

As a result, the service system will be damaged. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
  • After the password is changed, update the microservice authentication configuration in a timely manner.
  • After the password is changed, the account may be locked due to three consecutive incorrect password attempts. The account will be unlocked after 15 minutes.

Resetting a Password

NOTICE:
  • If the account and password are used to register a microservice in the SDK, resetting the account and password may affect the service running of the microservice (the microservice cannot be registered with the ServiceComb engine).
